From St Petersburg, Russia and and starting in 2004, he specialises in making electro-acoustic Basses. in 2013 he has added a fretless Bass Ukulele he calls the "Hobbit Bass" to the catalogue. The web site is in russian and I have no information beyond this.

From Bexhill, UK he has been making instruments since the early 1980's and use to work with Tony Zemaitis. His output is mainly Guitars, but he does do other chordophones to like Mandolins and a distinctive Soprano Ukulele with a heart shaped sound hole.
